It was deemed too unsafe to keep it going. ;)

Well then ?

Supposedly :NEP:PHI:THA have entered this weeks Asian Championships :yikes:. Nothing is official since the entry lists haven’t been posted yet, but the FIL Instagram had evidence of such sliders. I believe :KAZ:TPE:CHN:JPN:KOR should also been in attendance. We really need an Asian Winter Games with luge at this point.

well, in the past couple of years those entries were pure fake...

when it came down to the actual races, there were just those 3/4 Koreans we saw at the last Olympic Games...

so, I'd rather wait for the official results before starting the celebrations...;)

Natural Track Luge European Championships, scheduled for Tomorrow and Sunday in Moscow, ended up in a farce because of the unexpected hot weather...

 

the track was shortened to the minimum lenght required by FIL (basically, a few pushes and a turn after the start...the races have been won with an 11-second run) and the competitions have been held over a single run (of that kind)...:yikes::facepalm::hairpull::thumbdown:

 

not only, men and women's singles have been anticipated to Today (cutting 1 training day off) and open doubles and the team relay will be held tomorrow...

 

however, here are the medallists...

 

women's Singles

Gold: :ITA Evelin Lanthaler

Silver: :RUS Ekaterina Lavrentjeva

Bronze: :AUT Tina Unterberger

    • Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Let's do this for a country that is not actually that good in winter sports as well as our Olympic Committee Declining lots of places.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
